Sheet And Gully Erosion Caused By Uncontrolled Run-Off

Description: Photograph of sheet and gully erosion caused by uncontrolled run-off on an unprotected cultivated field. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Sheet and gully erosion caused by uncontrolled run-off on unprotected cultivated field. Rows have been run across the slope in an attempt to prevent this drainage but runoff "jumped" the furrows causing cross-cutting. Contour cultivation and perhaps terraces will be required to control erosion here."
